A female skater wearing a poster costume advertising Hunky Dory boot polish and Hoxo Pad Rubber Heels for ‘no more sore feet’. The photograph was taken by ZAKS, a rival studio to Berry & Co, and is actually a post-card – and so the three dimensional, roving human poster, becomes a two dimensional advertisement again.

Lovely post showing some Poster Ball costumes. The woman in the confectionery outfit is advertising Carson’s Chocolates. Underneath her right arm she has a box of their ‘Peacock Brand’ boxed chocolates. Carson’s was a brand made in Glasgow, and imported to New Zealand in the 1920s.
